"The Terry S Case - It's Far from being Controversial - Please - Give Me a Break Already!"


I heard on the news, the Terri S case is controversial.  Really?  We don't even treat dogs this way, so why are we treating Terri Schiavo (sp) like this? There is no excuse for this.  Some say we should not intervene in her life and allow the tube to removed and without a will? Hello? What's up with that?  These are the same people, you can bet, that advocate the life of convicted criminals facing execution as cruel and inhumane treatment - Hello? What's up with that?  Yet they don't say or do anything to advocate for an innocent woman.  These same people will wage protests at the time of their favorite convict's execution and pray for a stay or something to stop this inhumane treatment, yet we need to kill Terry now and get this drama over with!  A woman who is not on life support, not in a vegetative state, and not in a coma! Hello!? What's up with that?!
 
I believe this is a sign of the end times, it's so obvious. The more I heard of what her husband has done to her, from sworn affidavits, it's literally scary to think what is behind the motivation of this person.  The idea of a man who has guardianship over a wife he betrayed, to me, forfeits their guardianship rights.  There should be a law against this and a tie-in to suspicious circumstances as are clearly evident in this case.  It is also quite clear that Terri's best interests are deliberately not being carried out. This woman has not had hydration or food for 7 days now and in her state, this is deadly - It is not like a fast for you or I.
 
Governor Bush knows now he has the authority to intervene and protect this woman and uncover what is really going on.  His intervention can provide her legal representation, get her a divorce, physical therapy (which is being denied by her husband) and protect her from a husband who never said a thing about her wishes until 7 years later and has stated he did not know her wishes, and without a will, our society should error on the side of life, not death.
 
It's time for Governor Jeb Bush to stop delaying and stop this woman from being murdered!
